So basically this is
a sequel to XTimeGirlX's "One Journey Ends, Another
Begins", so if you have not read that one yet, I recommend you
check it out in order to get this one. Anyway, please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, and sadly, I may not own this story either, and you will see why as you go on. :D.
A thin, frail, well-tanned woman with lithe, blonde hair stared out the window of her hospital bedroom. The doctor still said she had to be hooked up on the machine, but she was desperate to get out.
"Um, Rose?"
The lady spun around, and cringed at the throbbing pain in her head.
A thin, young, man in a tight suit and red Converse stood in the doorway, a nonchalant look on his face, hands in his pockets.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
He showed no emotion, just said, "I'm John Smith. I come and read to you every day… a bit of a story."
She gave off a thin laugh. "Sure thing, Mr. Smith. Sorry, I forgot. I tend to do that a lot. Sometimes I even forget why I'm locked up in this place," she said, lightly.
John Smith flashed a smile, but just as fast as it came, it was gone. "So, Ms. Rose Tyler… I am here to read you a journal. Short and sweet. We're on Chapter Four now," he reminded her.
"'Course, Mr. Smith. Sorry, I forget sometimes. Even my kids tell me all the time, they say, 'Mum, you're getting older every day'," she said.
John Smith's face hardened, and he stared into her eyes for a long time. Finally, he took out his glasses, but them on, and took out a small, leather-covered book.
"Leather," she analyzed. John Smith looked up and she continued. "Haven't seen leather in a while, with all this, new technology," she said.
"I s'pose," he said, paused, then continued, gingerly. "Ms. Tyler, that's what you told me yesterday."
She looked appalled. "Why, sorry, Mr. Smith! I have seemed to forgot—but my memory is getting worse and worse, you see. Sorry. So sorry," she said.
"You're English is very good. You pronounce each word. Very un-chav like," John Smith hinted.
She laughed. "Well, thank you, Mr. Smith. Glad to know I'm not street scum," she said.
John Smith muttered something to himself and opened up the leather book. "Now, listen, Rose Tyler. This is a story about a man called the Doctor. He had no name. He was a traveler—and he traveled a while with his friend, a woman he loved very much. Coincidentally, you have her name. Rose," he said, slowly.
She nodded her head, giving him permission to go on.
"Here we go then," he whispered. "Allons-y."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, Rose Marion Tyler… where to next?" the Doctor asked, fixing his red tie.
"Hm…" Rose thought out loud, tapping her chin with a distant look. "How 'bout… ooh! I know! Malaysia! That's where they make your trainers!" she exclaimed.
The Doctor stared at her with such distaste Rose thought his face would fall off. "Rose Tyler! Are you joking? Malaysia? Looking at Converse?" he cried.
Rose giggled. "Okay, then… where are we going?"
"Well, I was thinking 1970's, pop music, hippies, the whole enchilada," he said, slowly and dramatically.
"Sounds good to me!" Rose exclaimed, as the Doctor played some old Beatles' music.
"'I don't know why you saw goodbye, I SAY HELLO!" Rose screamed along with the music.
The Doctor laughed as Rose fell on the floor, in a pile of giggles. Eventually, he joined her, and he took out a bottle of bubbly.
After they downed the alcohol and laughed a bit more, Rose sat straight up.
"Doctor?" she asked.
"Yes (giggle) Rose?" the Doctor hiccupped.
"Ih fink… the TARDIS is movin'!" Rose said, putting her dainty finger in the air.
The Doctor immediately jumped up and seemed to forget all about his earlier drinking problem.
"Oh my Time Lord," he whispered. He yanked a lever on the console screen. He saw that the TARDIS was on a truck, and they were moving—towards a volcano.
The truck stopped, and men draped in animal fur grabbed the TARDIS by the hinges and took it out, and the Doctor took that time to get out. He signaled for Rose to stay in the TARDIS.
"The demon has come!" spat on of the men.
"Hello, there! I'm the Doctor, and I sure ain't a demon!" the Doctor announced.
"You will be sacrificed!" the first man proclaimed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" the Doctor cried. He backed up, and almost lost his footing when a bit of the rocky ledge behind him fell into the flaming volcano pit below.
Rose sat in the TARDIS, looking at the console screen. She had to do something! She started running towards the door, when her foot accidentally nudged the C.D.
"I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!" The Beatles' sang out loud.
Suddenly, the Doctor heard the Beatles', and assumed he must be entering Time Lord heaven, but the people turned their heads as well to the music. He took this time to run back into the TARDIS and switch the coordinates to Earth.
"All right then," he said. "Minor complication, but it's all good. Um, yeah…" he looked up at Rose, who was grinning down at him. "Thanks."
Rose looked shyly at him, her tongue poking out from behind her teeth. "Who knew Beatles' could do more then damage our ears?"
_-_-_-_----_____-__-------__--___
"They were an odd couple," Rose said.
"Quite odd indeed," John Smith laughed.
__-___--_-----_----_--_-_
"The Beast… said I was going to die in battle," Rose said, biting on her thumbnail.
"Well, he lied," the Doctor said, his face hardening.
_-____-----___-_-_
"So you see, the Beast, the devil, had foretold that Rose would die. Then, one day, they went home to visit Jackie, her mother…"
-----____-__-----
"Who you gonna call?" the Doctor said.
"Ghost buster!" Rose cried, clapping her hands together in laughter.
__----__----__---___
"It turned out that there were ghosts in the city. They actually turned out to be Cybermen, old enemies of the Doctor. There were also Daleks in this ball, they traveled through the Void. Rose, sacrificing herself left her family in a parallel dimension, and they had to hold on a lever as Cybermen and Daleks were sucked into the Void… but suddenly, one of the other levers slid down, and Rose was determined to bring it back up…"
--__-_-___----___--_____-__----_--
"I've—gotta, get it upright!" Rose yelled, she fell back and grabbed on the lever.
"Rose hold on!" the Doctor cried.
"Mmmm…" Rose cried.
"Rose hold on!" the Doctor called.
"Ugh! Ah, ugh!" Rose moaned. Her hand slipped from the grip. "Ahhhh!"
"Rooooose!" the Doctor yelled in agony.
"Ahhh!"
"Rose!"
A bright light zapped out of nowhere, and Rose was in the arms of her father, Pete. She looked back at the Doctor, and didn't see him again.
---__------____-_------
"This is so sad," Rose said.
John Smith stared at her. Finally, after moments of awkward silence, he said, "Yeah. But there's more to the story."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes. I'll see you tomorrow, Ms. Tyler," John Smith said, saluting.
"Goodbye, Mr. Smith!" she said.
Sorry to put you guys on a cliffhanger, there! :D But I'm sorry, it was sooo necessary! Don't worry, though… there'll be more!
